Party Recap

With an August birthday I thought the best way to beat the heat would be to have a beach party this year for my son's BIG 5 birthday. He had a blast and it was a blast to plan. So many cute beach ideas out there! Interestingly enough, while we were beating the heat with a beach party I was having AC problems! What luck!

  • Friends and family

    Assistant

    My biggest helpers were my best friends and my parents! My dad made the surf board that rocked back and forth and side to side to simulate real surfing, and my mom helped me with all the good. My best friend also put in many hours of decorating.

    I did make them. They are actually upside down party hats that I assembled a little tighter. If you look closely, the images are upside down! :)

    I actually did not use a mold. I simple dipped the oreos in chocolate. A little messy for a perfectionist...but luckily water is wavy!

    where did you get all the printable from? food tent cards etc? And what is the photo booth background made out of? I am assuming the bottom is a blue tarp.

    I got the printables from Totful Memories on Etsy and the background is a backdrop from Oriental Trading Company. The bottom is a blue tarp and we just made the surf board. Very Easy!
